We describe data from 1,514 young children with ASD who over the course of 4 to 12 months used a parentadministered tablet-based therapeutic application designed by the authors. Older children and children with milder forms of ASD performed better and progressed faster in cognitive and language exercises. However, most children were able to engage with and learn from exercises independent of their age or ASD severity. These data suggest that tablet-based cognitive and language exercises can be successfully administered by parents to children as young as two years of age over the course of many months, relatively independent of ASD severity.
